Chapter 824 The Limits Of The Quest System
-----
As for Sapphire and Scarlet, they couldn't really eat, but they do enjoy absorbing new materials, so I let them absorb magic crystals from the big insect monsters, slightly boosting their stats and repairing their cracks and small wounds easily.
"Hmm, these bugs are filled with magic energy!"
"Even if we crush a lot of their crystals they keep giving out."
I'm glad everyone can have a break and just enjoy a bit of life, even as bizarre as it gets sometimes… And it was rather rare to see them not discussing and berating one another.
"Sylphy, have you thought about giving another System Seed?" Wondered Alice. "At the rate it can make your friends stronger, it would come in handy now more than ever."
"I know but… I don't want to hand them over so easily and so fast either… Everyone will get one by the end of this year in their respective birthdays." I nodded to myself, as we talked telepathically.
"Fine, I guess awakening their Heroic Talents was already good enough for now." She nodded. "They all grew much stronger from that. It was rather amazing. I'm glad we were able to make the Heroic Seed Skill into one that could level up, its power and effects were modified extremely fast."
"Yeah, sadly we don't have any more skills to make into leveling skills… But I'm sure we can learn new things once we grow stronger." I sighed while tasting the stew. "Ah, it is really tasty. Rabbit meat is so tender~"
"I'm sure miss Quest System will give you out something good soon." She said. "Though, you could also level up skills using EXP, you've got a ton now…"
"Hmm, you're not wrong… But I'll save such a possibility until I am really feeling quite cornered… Until then, I'm happy as I am." I nodded. "Though, I guess its never wrong to be prepared for even more dangerous things… Having a hefty amount of EXP saved is always good for that reason."
"You're right… You've grown a lot since you were a one year old girl, both physically and mentally." Alice said.
"What with the emotional talk? Let's just eat and have a nice day for now, okay?" I sighed. "There's a whole lot of more dangerous things waiting us in the near future so… At least for now, I kind of want to unwind and just… relax. Chill, like you say."
"Heheh, I guess that's not bad." Alice smiled. "Though, I wish the Quest System gave me some quest regarding the recent monster invasion! I got nothing out of it…"
Ding!
[The [Quest System] says that such an event was not all that challenging, creating a quest out of it wouldn't had been worth it. It is better to store Casualty for now to create better Quests with more rewards. A new Quest will be generated later.]
"You say that but sometimes you give me really weird and easy quests…" I sighed.
"It varies, though now that you've completed so many, Quests might get harder unless they're related to helping an ally grow stronger." Alice explained. "It seems that such quests are easier to generate."
"Like Luck's quest?" I asked.
"More or less." Alice agreed. "It was mostly because he was really weak before, helping him level up, and then rank up helped him grow much stronger, something he desperately needed. But it seems that with Aquarina, it might had been different."
"I see…"
While talking with Alice through telepathy, eating, and also conversing with my friends, we discussed what had happened recently. The Gray Fenrir joined us with his pack of wolves as well.
"I've decided to accompany you on your journey to Arachne's hideout." He said. "She has dared to trespass into our domain, and even tried to destroy this beautiful land. I won't forgive her."
"But if you go with us, who will protect this place?" I asked.
"That's… Well, my pack would." He said. "The Great Mammoths to the west, and there are also the Giant Cranes to the east. Both are led by strong leaders."
"Hmm, I still think you should stay here for now." I said. "Right, Luck?"
"Yeah… I don't want this place to be attacked while we're out. Could you protect it for now?" Luck asked.
"B-But Lady Elise told me to protect you, Luck!" The Gray Fenrir got angered. "It is my duty now to be your protector and guardian!"
"But we've got Sylphy's dad, Aquarina's dad, and Arafunn with us…" Luck said. "We've already got enough elite fighters."
"R-Right…" Sighed the Gray Fenrir. "Hahhh… I-I guess I'll have to stay here for now. My strength is better used while protecting my domain. However! That doesn't mean I'll stay here forever! You've gotta make me your Familiar, kid!"
"Familiar?" Luck wondered.
"Though, you need to grow much stronger first." Fenrir said. "At least… hit Tier 6." Said the Fenrir. "By then, you might be capable of holding the power that comes by making me your familiar."
"I see…" Luck nodded. "I'll come back once I become as strong as that then! I promise."
"Well said! Woof! Also, this stew thing is really good! I neve thought that boiling down meat and mixing it with a bunch of plants would taste amazing!" The Gray Fenrir devoured the plate of stew, licking his lips. "M-More! I want more!" He wagged his tail happily.
"Hahaha, I guess this must be his first time eating!" Mist laughed.
"He's cute when he acts like a real puppy." Celica smiled.
"What a handful of a dog… Though, if we don't bring him along, how can Luck use his beast mimicry to his advantage?" Celeste wondered.
"Don't worry, we've got that covered, right, Furoh?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Furoh who was on his slime form, quickly shapeshifted to the Gray Fenrir form. "Awooo! Try mimicking this, young Luck!"
"Oh? Alright…!" Luck stood up in front of Furoh. "[Beast Mimicry]!"
FLAAAASH!
And the same changes that happened to his body when he did it with the original Gray Fenrir happened to his body!
"I-It worked!" He said. "A-Amazing!"
"It seems we've found an exploit to that power." I smiled.
